This chapter flips through Cece’s early school years like a scrapbook with teeth — a rapid-fire rundown of pre-k through sixth grade, told with humor, side quests, and an unapologetically scattered rhythm.

Along the way: picture day rebellion (feat. the infamous pink dinosaur tee shirt), childhood competitiveness, early crushes, spelling bee glory, tomboy fashion, and the oddly universal trauma of stick-on earrings. But woven through the laughs are quiet hints that memory is selective for a reason — and that some years blur because the story is inching closer to the flames.

By the end, Cece makes it clear: there are things you need to know before what happens next… happens.
